Flint Group Launches Novavit® F 1000 WIN BIO – the next generation of straight line and perfecting sheetfed ink technology.

In today’s highly
competitive world, it’s important to offer something different. That’s why
Flint Group Sheetfed has a passion to innovate, creating products that take
continuous improvement to the next level.With the introduction of Novavit® F 1000 WIN BIO, this
commitment to exceed expectations is perfectly demonstrated with a long list of
features that helps commercial printers improve quality, extend wash intervals
for blankets and impression cylinders and reduce start-up wastage, all of which
reduces cost per print.

“We were
looking to develop a product that would tick a number of boxes for large, high
speed, high quality commercial printers” explains Hans Roesch, Head of
Technical Service Centre, Sheetfed Commercial EMEA “We wanted to offer a very
flexible product to print shops with modern high speed presses, who need a low
misting, very fast setting ink with low tack that can bring high quality to a
wide range of paper grades, even picking sensitive stock” he says “ At the same
time, extending wash intervals and reducing start-up waste was one of our top
priorities in developing this new ink series, and we also wanted high colour
strength with excellent rub resistance and supreme process stability.Novavit® F 1000 WIN BIO has
all of these and more thanks to an innovative bio-based binder system that we
developed, which also delivers very good ink-water balance from start-up.”

During the critical field testing stage, more
than 10 print shops across Europe put Novavit®
F 1000 WIN BIO through its paces and every one of them gave very positive
feedback, with several successfully gaining ISO 12647-2:2004 certification
using the product. Many of them remarked on the very stable print performance,
no piling on sensitive stock and notably lower odour than other inks.

All of this feedback makes Flint Group very
confident that Novavit® F
1000 WIN BIO offers the level of flexibility it was aiming for, positioning
it a step ahead of the market.
